Thread Name: When you first made music?
Subject: RE: When you first made music?
I guess I've always sung, since my dad sang all the time. I first got serious about singing in fifth grade, when I joined the school choir at St. Rita School in Racine, Wisconsin. I guess that was 1958. Sister John Bosco assigned Ron Benedict and me to sing alto, and we beamed with pride every time she'd say that we were "really sharp." I recently found out what she meant....
Sister also recruited me for her harmonica band, but I never got very good. I've always wanted to play the guitar, and I keep trying, but I just can't quite get it - but you can't stop me from singing.
